Counter Crisis
A three-part series by the Centre for Disaster Protection looking at disaster risk financing
Counter Crisis
Counter Crisis Episode 1: The State of Pre-Arranged Financing
While few would disagree on the importance of having plans in place before a crisis happens, why is there so little pre-arranged crisis financing, and why does a significant portion go to nations already better-equipped to handle disasters?
What needs to change to ensure the most vulnerable communities receive the protection they need?
Episode one features the Centre for Disaster Protection's Associate Director, Evidence, Lydia Poole, along with guest Ekhosuehi Iyahen, Secretary General of the Insurance Development Forum, shedding light on the blind spots of our current approaches to disasters, and how pre-arranged financing can help the most vulnerable people in the long term.
